It's a joke but it's not, the first of the millennials are getting up to an age where they can afford a piece of their childhood, and their childhood is late 90s early 2000s SUVs and sports cars. I have been telling people for years that the so called 'fast a furious' cars would be collectable

Yup I definitely wanted a Supra and you could always tell back then that they were going to appreciate right from the start. I actually saw a RHD Supra being driven by a guy my age last year in the city. My buddy had a 300zx with the T or Targa top that he bought while in college and it had appreciated as well by the time he graduated.

The models you mentioned above don't exactly have the same nostalgia as the big 4 IMO

Acura NSX
Nissan 300zx
Toyota Supra
RX-7

I am sure other vehicles will appreciate but what would make you look in traffic were those 4 cars for sure, especially the first 3. I am not sure anyone was really in love with the rotary engine of the rx-7

I agree with your predictions that those will appreciate very well.

I have already witnessed appreciation with Evo RS, and Integra. GC8 STI (imported from Japan) will also be worth some bucks. I bought a black 2000 Integra Type R in 2005 for $13k, sold it for $22k a couple years later. (not a huge gain). A former customer made about $8k selling his Evo RS. Another former had a S2000 CR that he made some money on.

The FD RX7's will be worth money one day, unreliable engine or not. The car is too good looking and too unique to not be. They can still be had reasonably cheap too. Clean low mile nearly original R1/R2 models.

3000GT VR4 might see something too... maybe

E39 for sure.

Doesn't the E60 have a reputation for being a total POS? We had a former customer buy one that cost him $35Kish . One or more fuel injectors stuck open, hydrolocked engine. Totaled the car. This was maybe 5 years ago.

What about that BMW M Coupe thing? 98-02. I could see that being worth money if clean and low miles.

POS? No.

Anyways, the surviving E60's with good S85 engines will be classics. The car looks fantastic and the S85 sound is totally unique. The last of the V10's. 8000+ rpm redline, dual ITB's, etc. It's not a car for the poor children of rich parents. Eventually a small number of surviving copies in excellent mechanical condition will remain.
